2016-08-19 | People say they approve of interracial couples, but studies uncover bias - The Washington Post
'They were shown 200 real engagement and wedding photos: 50 black men with white women, 50 white men with black women and 50 each of same-race black and white couples. '
'While sitting in front of a computer, the photos of mixed-race and same-race couples were randomly shown to participants. '
'The study participants were faster to identify same-race couples as humans. '
'But one of the bigger take-aways of that experiment was that when people were already made to feel disgusted by the gross images, they were more likely to elicit a strong reaction against interracial couples. '
' It’s a warning, Skinner said, that this country has not gotten rid of its bias against interracial romance. '
